New Tab with Smiley face?

So I was using the browser, and I was trying to download an iso for a playstation emulator, but at some point I got a random download that opened a new tab, the entire page was blank except for a smiley face in the top left corner. Sorta spooked me a tiny bit but does anyone know why this happened?

@zfgodin You clicked on something at that download page that triggered that random page or you got a malware.

It think it has happened due to some unintended extensions or malware installed.
Pleases disable all the extensions installed.
Run your Antivirus to see if any unintended program is not installed.
